WMI Announces 2010 Walk for Water

It’s that time again! Gather your teammates, put on your walking shoes, grab a water pail and get ready for this year’s Water Missions International Walk for Water! WMI’s Walk for Water is a unique fundraising event that commemorates World Water Day, spreads awareness of the global water crisis and helps provide safe water to people in need.

The 3.5-mile Walk for Water is inspired by millions of women and children who are responsible for making the daily trek to collect water for their families. During the walk, each participant has the opportunity to carry an empty water pail, which can be filled with water at the halfway point along the route then carried to the finish. The Walk for Water is a fun, educational experience that anyone can enjoy! All funds raised support Water Missions International’s ongoing efforts to provide safe water, sanitation and God’s love to people around the world.

In 2010, Water Missions International is launching the Walk for Water as a national series. Walks are in the works for Charleston and Greenville, SC; Holland, MI; Augusta, GA; Chicago, IL; Santa Barbara, CA and more! The Charleston Walk for Water will take place on Saturday, March 21 at 10:00am. Dates and times for other cities will be available soon.

To get started, please visit the Walk for Water Web page. WMI’s online resources will help you recruit team members and create an online fundraising page. You can also view video tutorials and a list of frequently asked questions.

Help us spread the word about this year’s Water Missions International Walk for Water! We’ll see you at the Walk!

your missions should get involved with this company!!! i have been a customer of a water delivery company for two years now, and i just upgraded a new model of their new water cooler/heater! i am on a rampage to tell everyone to get OFF the 20 ounce bottles of water and convert to the 3/5 gallon bottles. it has changed our family's life, and it has saved us so much money this passed year!!!! when the recession hit we had to shed our single serve bottle habit. we eventually switched to the 3/5 gall delivery and have lost weight, saved money, and now we have money to do other things we might not have before. and we look good doing it too, cause we lost all of that weight from sugary drinks!

check out Primo Water!!!! they are the best! www.primowater.com you can order online, but not sure about the delivery areas. you will have to call. it is worth your time!

i don't know how much outreach they do to the communities, but they would be a great resources for sponsorships!!!

Walk for Water will be sponsored by Canmeng Aveda in Taiwan. We have sold 500 tickets and all proceeds will go to an NGO in Taiwan to promote water conservation education. If you are interested, please visit www.pingchu.com blog on this subject. We are very happy that we can do something together to make a difference in water conservation.
